Communicator
EXT is the base package of the
Energy Manager system. This software module
connects remote meters via Serial, Ethernet
or Modem. It allows users to view real time
metered data, configure and analyze collected
information from remote EI power monitors. This
system works with all EI metering equipment.
Communicator EXT provides superior
screen display, graphing and reporting functions
allowing users to collect and archive data quickly,
easily and without hassle. Using ODBC compliant
database structures, the stored metering information
is available for automatic integration into
any 3rd party package.
Advanced
Real time Viewing Capability
Communicator EXT displays real
time data from EI power monitors. The data is
presented in a simple and powerful graphical
format so that laymen access data easily. The
software offers many screens, including:
Voltage, Current, Power & Energy
Time of Usage & Accumulations
Power Quality
Harmonics to the 255th Order
Actual Real time Waveform Scopes
Alarms & Limits
Max. & Min. for Each Parameter
I/O Device Information
Advanced
Communication Structure Communicator
EXT allows users to access remote meters through
three different methods. These include:
Ethernet TCP/IP
Remote Modem (Dial-up or Wireless)
Direct Serial
These
three capabilities allow the data to be brought
back in any type of medium available. These methods
are interchangeable so that a system can consist
of multiple paths back to a main computer.
Advanced
Charting, Graphing & Analysis
Communicator
EXT’s charting and graphing functions
allow users to easily access any desired data
and provide fast and simple analysis. Getting
the data you need quickly is as important as
collecting the data in the first place. Communicator
EXT excels at providing data easily and quickly.
Data analysis features include:
Tabular Data Format with Direct Microsoft
Excel® Compliance
6-Pen Charting and Graphing
Circular or XY Chart Formats
Max./Min. Values Printed Directly on Plot
Unlimited Zoom & Pan
Direct Cut & Paste in Most Windows®
Applications
View
Waveform Records with Comprehensive Data Analysis
Features
View
stored waveforms on events caused by power quality
problems, faults, transients and many other
conditions. Using Communicator EXT, you can:
View & Superimpose Multiple Waveforms
Zoom & Pan Events
Place hash marks directly on waveform graphs
to calculate delta time & differing event
durations.
Conduct harmonic analysis on waveform data
using harmonic magnitudes, peak value and
RMS readings per cycle.
ODBC
Databases for All Collected Data
In today’s information age, collecting data
is simple. Managing data is the task at hand.
Communicator EXT uses an ODBC database structure.
ODBC structure means that the data is easily accessible
by most other 3rd party applications. This allows
data to be managed as well as collected. The database
also autoconfigures itself so that the users do
not have to be versed with database knowledge
to maintain the data.
Programming
and Configuration
Communicator
EXT also allows users to program, configure
and optimize metering systems to meet the exact
application needed. Unlike most other systems,
Communicator EXT was painstakingly designed
to make programming and configuration simple
and easy to use. This takes much of the guesswork
out of configuring a meter and gets the system
up and running simply and quickly.
Advanced
Power Quality Charting and Graphing
Communicator
EXT allows you to calculate power quality
on a scatter graph providing users with CBEMA
plotting information. The CBEMA plot gives
definition to the severity of events and their
effect on equipment. If many events fall outside
the CBEMA tolerances, they may be damaging
the monitored equipment. The software provides
3D plots and histograms with frequency and
severity.
